What create_solution_package does on ServiceNow-MCP
AI agents use create_solution_package to create or update resources in ServiceNow-MCP, usually the action step of a workflow, after the agent has gathered context. Every call changes real data in your ServiceNow-MCP environment.
Why create_solution_package is rated Medium
This tool creates and packages update sets for distribution across ServiceNow instances. While reversible (packages can be deleted or replaced), it creates new artifacts that will be deployed to other systems. The 'distribution' aspect means these changes will propagate to other environments.
From the tool's definition Tool description explicitly states 'Create a solution package' which creates a distributable artifact from update sets. The **[Write]** tag in the description confirms this classification.
Attacks that exploit this kind of access
The rule that runs create_solution_package safely
PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and ServiceNow-MCP, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For create_solution_package, this is the rule to start with:
create_solution_package stays usable, but capped: an agent stuck in a loop can't make hundreds of changes a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.
The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect ServiceNow-MCP, apply this rule, and every create_solution_package call is checked against it from then on.
